Numerous county departments that have expressed interest in the additional space, including Lake County Special Districts and Environmental Health, neither of which is located in the building.

District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown said he thinks a one-stop shop should be on the ground floor. His concept involves using the fourth floor for the administration offices.

"It makes more sense, since this floor is more accessible to the public," Brown said.

District 1 Supervisor Jim Comstock supports the idea, but wants something similar in the southern part of the county "even if it is minimal."

Flora suggested moving the Registrar of Voters' office, because of its current limited space.

Lake County Administrative Officer Matt Perry recently has sent out requests for proposals for appraisal services to determine costs, according to Flora.

District 3 Supervisor Denise Rushing said she wanted the Space Committee to look into the project and return to the BOS with more detailed information and suggestions.

No action was required of the board. There was no public comment from the six people present.

The board also discussed a potential purchase of a building located at 2617 S. Main St. in Lakeport.

If purchased, the building would be used as new offices for the Lake County Air Quality Management District.

According to Lake County Air Pollution Control Officer Doug Gearhart, the building has room to house offices, laboratories, a conference room/library, air monitoring and other equipment, as well as work areas and storage for department records.
